SAU-NSW Advanced Driver Training (Great Deal) Nov 12/ Dec 12/ Jan 23


Recommended Posts

Skylines Australia NSW and Auto-Motion Australia (Aaron McGill) have jointly developed a fantastic deal for Members and Non-Memebers for Quality Advanced Driver Training.

This is a superb offer by Aaron and as other's on this forum can attribute Auto-Motions calibre of training, this will be great fun. So don't miss out folks.

Here's the offer:

Phase 1 - Oran Park Skid Pan November 12 (Wednesday) Normal price $220.00 Club price = $165.00

Phase 2 - Eastern Creek Skid Pan December 12 (Friday) Normal price $125.00 Club price = $110.00

Phase 3 - Oran Park Track January 23 2004 (Friday) Normal price $330.00 Club price = $275.00

Normal price $675.00 TOTAL COST = $550.00.

Saving of $125

Bookings to be paid and confirmed by October 31

On top of this offer: Those who take the package of the three courses will benefit from the following : Any Member of Skylines Australia NSW will get their 2004 Membership fee - for free. And Any Non-Member will be entitiled to become a member for just the application fee of $15 (ie the $35 annual fee is waived)

This represents a saving of $160 off normal prices. Plus we all get to have three great days of skid pad and track training.

Here's what you get :

Stage 1

-----------

For all drivers no matter what level of experience inc L platers and large fleets. Our courses for Phase 1 training continue to be held at Oran Park Camden.

During our 8 hour program you will be taught the application of unique, low risk accident prevention techniques designed to avoid a road crash.

After welcoming you, Auto-Motion's experienced team will reveal how, based on research, we shall help you to truly avoid and prevent road accidents occurring. This is rather more valuable than just giving you a day of car control and handling skills training. By reducing fleet crashes by up to 80% this could represent a $100,000 saving for a 100 driver fleet per annum - a huge saving.

Your comfort is important to us and that is why we have a maximum of 14 people per group, with classes situated in modern, air-conditioned facilities designed for education. During out time together, Auto-Motion's team will use whiteboard, overhead and video aids to maximise your educational experience.

Our teams aim by the conclusion of the course is to have you:

· Braking your car to a stop in the minimum distance possible.

· Increase your driving decision making ability

· Develop an ongoing attitude to defensive risk management motoring

· Dispel motoring myths and old wives tales

· Better understand your cars tyres and the vital role they play in safety

Stage 2

----------

Have you wondered at the skill of top rally drivers, TV stunt drivers and track racers? Their ability to set a car into a slide, control the machine and recover it within inches of disaster is a skill that you can learn.

Auto-Motion's Phase 2 Slide Control courses allow you to drive your car on our wet and slippery skid pan, exploring the secrets of precision car control. Our instructors will take you step by step, unlocking your ability to understand a cars natural slide tendencies. You will soon discover that most cars hold no surprises for a driver, once you have the power of knowledge.

Our courses are high intensity, four hour, half day sessions. You will have information overload that will take time to digest. The only real way to learn slide control is practice, so a half day rate allows you to attend as many times as you wish. Of course full days are available as well.

PHASE 2

SKID PAN

4 HOURCALENDAR

Welcome everyone to 2003, we have a few changes in store for you this year to enhance your driving pleasure.

One of the most significant is moving our skid pan activities to the new Eastern Creek facility. This move benefits you in the following ways:

· New smooth slippery surface means reduced tyre wear.

· Clean modern amenities.

· Easy access off the F4.

· Shaded viewing area behind safety barriers.

· State of the art electronic watering system. (No more water truck!)

Stage 3

----------

At last some serious fun for the serious driver. This course caters for the experienced driver who wants to use their performance machine in a safe environment.

Our full day Phase 3 programs are run on most of Australia's major race tracks. Our instructor team is bursting with knowledge, made up of current national series competitors, with experience in V8 Supercars, Supertourers, GTP and Formula 3 cars. Rest assured you are in good hands.

During the day, instructors will combine class room and in car training to finely tune your skills in high speed cornering, throttle steering, heel/toe downshifting and steering control.

Lunch is generally provided on these days but may vary with venue location. Days start at 8.30am sharp and finish around 5pm and are held in all weather conditions.

Drivers wishing to prepare themselves for motor racing will be able to complete our specific training for CAMS C3 licence accreditation. Our program will prepare you for competition like no other course.

I'll amend the thread with confirmed, paid up folks as Aaron gets back to me.

I've also asked the Exec comittee if they think it would be a good idea to invite Performance/Import publication to follow the progress of the training, take pics, write a bit of a story on SAU etc - Keep you posted on that idea.......

Cheers,

Folks,

As Phase 2 is a 4 hour skidpan session - we don't want to see this day being booked out by folks who are only interested in this Phase and not the other days

I dare say that we will get more interest in this day than the others -

So, I'll ask Aaron about this - but since it is a 4 hour session - we might dedicate 1 x 4 hour session for those of us who are signing up for the whole program - And there might be another 4 hour session (same day) for those who want to only participate in Stage 2 only.

I'll check this with Aaron.

I would definitely like to ask what the point of your post is but I have 2 problems

1. at least you're into skylines...

2. don't need this thread turning into a bitchfest

:(

diduc,

If you do all three courses - you can become an SAU Memeber for just $15 (instead of $50).

Anyone who does a single course or two courses only doesn't get to benefit from this offer. So do all three and take advantage of the discount on membership.

Once you are a member you can save heaps on other stuff too.

XEQTOR, got you down on the v.interested list.

Don't forget peeps - to take advatage of this traiing offer you must book & pay before the end of October 2003.

Craved, SAU had a race course last August with findlay, 10 skylines and 200sxs, 1 liberty and a saab :D

Its great to do a course like this in company like that - Top fun :P

very interested in this! just thinking are all these people going in together! if so how do we acknowledge that we are in this group!!

Dude the dates above are ONLY for this deal for SAU - so you are GUARANTEED to be in the group - if you book and pay by the end of the month ! No-one else is invited to this training except for SAU folks.

So like I said above, make sure you fill in the booking form with SAU-NSW group deal mentioned and with the dates above and your SAU alias as well as your real name - and all will be sweet.

That said, if we don't get enough starters, we may have to look elswhere to fill spots - so get into it now people !

Cheers,

just noticed that the 3rd day i wont be able to go to, i'll be in the states, and thats the one i wanted to do most!! is there a reason they arent all in one weekend?

Yes a few of reasons actually,

1) Aaron has a very busy schedule with his racing (200SX) and other training committments. For this deal to happen for SAU-NSW, we needed to be able to fit in with Aaron's schedule.

2) a) If this training were to be done on a weekend, we would be waiting another 3-4 months (at least) for free weekends. So well into next year...

B) Weekends cost more (track hire, cost to emply trainers, etc)

    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
